For my portrait, I drew a color combo mixed media version of a portrait of my best friend, Logan. For my portrait, I used mixed media. First, I used alcohol-based markers as the base for Logan's face color fusion and for the hair. Next, I used Castel-Farber's oil pastels to help create a nice blend of colors, to produce bold yet smooth strokes of the face and linear features. The strokes of the strands of brown hair and hairstyles was also achieved using oil pastels. The colors I chose to depict Logan strongly connect with his personality. On the left hand side, I used bright yellow, orange, and red colors which are symbolic of Logan's warmth. Whenever I have a bad day or something is going on that makes me sad, Logan is always there by my side, giving me warm hugs and cheering me up with his jokes and smiles. His energy is vibrant just like the bright colors of yellow, orange, and red, that I utilize to depict his face. However, the right side of Logan's face is a fusion of blue and purple. This is because I utilized "cool" colors, these colors quite literally represent that he is such a cool guy. He is into cool cars (Mustangs!) , cool music (Rock!!), and cool bikes (motorcycles!). Therefore to express how cool Logan is, I decided to utilize cool colors. Another symbolic use of the blue and purple cool colors on Logan's face is to indicate that Logan is a pretty chill guy who goes with the flow. If something goes wrong, and not according to his plans, Logan is quick to adjust, adapt, and change his response to the situation. Logan is also a go with the flow-kind of guy, whenever I say let's go here and not somewhere else, his response is always, "Okay! Sure! I'm down!" So chill! For the clothes and background, I used a second medium, which is digital drawing/painting, using the procreate app on my ipad, in order to generate the natural green background, using the Fluffbrush and spotlight brush to depict various green-hues. The background is nature in order to depict calm and serenity, which are the vibes that Logan gives, whenever I talk to him, and have any urging issues and problems, he helps me feel calm and serene. I utilized gray and navy blue brush strokes from procreate in order to draw a smooth, navy blue and dark outfit that Logan wears. Logan loves wearing dark shirts and tops, and is often even into leather jackets, which fits his cool guy motor-cycle guy personality!
